Tagged: Famed Investor's Move Is Seen as a Vote of Confidence in Crisis-Stricken Banking System; Old Ties to Firm Paved Way for Deal. Berkshire also will get warrants granting it the right to buy $5 billion of Goldman common stock at $115 a share, which is 8% below the 4 p.m. closing share price Tuesday of $125.05. At Goldman's roughly $50 billion market value, based on that closing price, exercising those warrants would give Berkshire about a 10% stake in Goldman.

"Most of the systemic risk has been taken care of by the Federal Reserve...but I would stick to what you do normally, which is to buy high-return-on-equity stocks," the president of Delphi Management told CNBC.
